Natsu Matsuri 2013 (Summer Festival)

The latest issue of DFan has a preview of the goodies. Here's what I've been able to find so far:

those water drops! If that's any indication, pink Minnie might be more prominent this year. Last year was her intro, and the only item she was pink was the tin cell strap. She's adorable either way so I don't mind.

While I wait 'till more is posted, or the site goes live, here are a few of my hopes.

Mickey water drop pendant. Last year only Minnie got the treatment so I can see them doing Mickey and possibly re-releasing Minnie in pink. Really would love him!

Water Drop plugys (earphone jack covers.) Practically the law that every theme gets them now so it's pretty much a given.

Water Drop plushies! Seriously, can't believe they haven't already been done. They would be so cute! I would love if they would be the size of the ghost pair they've done the past two years. Badges or straps would be just as nice too.

Tons of cute stuff! Looks like I was right about Minnie, I only see her in pink. I also guessed correctly about them re-releasing the light-up pendant, still no sign of Mickey though. Love how the drops have different expressions this time around for the merch. Kawaii! Also notice the plush cushion? Good sign we might finally see some real plush this year.

The new Mickey lantern is pretty cute. Fits nicely with the theme.

Looks like another great year. Can't wait to see the customizable item!

Honestly though, I'm kinda disappointed in both. I was hoping for something like last years or even leather tags. Eh.

Edit: on further research, pretty sure these aren't the *official* custom items, just choices on already established or yet-to-be released series. Which makes sense. (didn't know about the Happiness name tags) So there still might be hope for something more cool. Phew!
